DAY 48


DAY 48
05.22.07
TREE 54

The day got away from me today. I was rejuvenating my creative force with a different form of expression: music. It felt good to play the guitar and sing a little. But, before I knew it was past 10 PM. So I slipped out of the house and picked a thickly branched tree right off the main drive. It was pretty dark, and by the touch, I could tell this was rough with bark and growth. Getting up wasn’t difficult but I didn’t get too high. It didn’t help that I got a bite on my hand. Probably an ant, but it really gave me the jibblies. I was a little nervous about getting too personal with this tree, and with no light, I didn’t risk going too high. So, preoccupied with bugs, I scurried down as fast as I could.

5-22-08:  So, for those of you who don’t know, I make music.  In college I was in two bands.  I play guitar, bass, and drums, do a little singing poorly, but at least it’s all original.  Also, in college, I discovered the sound recorder on my laptop.  Then I discovered the function that speeds the sound up double.  It makes you sound like a chipmunk.  I got into that.  I have since made countless songs and a few videos.  That night, one year ago, I made some videos.  Please enjoy them at my Virb page:  http://www.virb.com/highspeedme

Yesterday after a long day of laying hardwood flooring I climbed a tree at Norman’s.  The sun was just setting and it was beautiful out.  Norman was fishing in the lake while I climbed.  Here is a picture of the sky and leaves:

And here is my attempt at a video log entry:
(tell me what you think…)
